Aurooctane

The liquid tool for Viteroretinal Surgery

Product Description:

Auro octane (Perfluoro-n-octane CF3-(CF2)6-CF3) is a hydrocarbon liquid in which all the hydrogen atoms are substituted by fluorine atoms. The chemical inertness and non-toxicity of perfluoro octane is based on the stability of the C-F bonds.

Indications:

AURO OCTANE is an intra-operative instrument for the treatment of:

Retinal detachments/ PVR/ PDR.

Giant tears.

Ocular trauma.

Removal of dislocated lenses and foreign bodies from the vitreous.

Contraindication:

It cannot be excluded that AURO OCTANE may generate alterations of the retina if present over a long period because of its high gravity. If remnants of AURO OCTANE, in the form of mobile drops stay in front of the retina they may influence the refraction and thus change the visual acuity temporarily.

Supply:

Available in Sterile 5 ml vial with pouch pack.

Eliminating needless blindness by making high quality ophthalmic products affordable and accessible to vision impaired world wide.
